Not actually all that upset about a 5th for a mostly-unproven 1st year UFA player, but maybe playing him a few times in the past 8 games instead of not at all would have driven the price up a little bit?

It will be interesting to see if they move a few more pieces that perhaps wouldn't cause much of a stir but maybe just enough to increase our chances of dropping a bit more for the draft. Probably not, but I can't help wonder....but that could only be a thought if a few more pieces are moved for draft picks.

Not bad. Recoup an asset for a guy that might not resign. I figured Jerabek's value would be somewhere in the mid-round pick range. Hopefully this is only the start. I'd like to see more UFAs dealt for picks.

Depends on where Bergevin mindset is at. If his ego still thinks we can make the playoffs and this teams core is good I don't see much action from him at the deadline, more at the draft and July 1st.

If his mindset is to get younger then he should be trading our Ufa's and get what they can.

Again, you need a buyer for that. Depth d-men like him will be moved over the next 5 days, but also depends on what is offered for him. I have zero problem if he on the 3rd pairing (and 3rd pairing only) next year instead of trading him for a 6th/7th round pick. But a 4th rounder I would ship him out for, or as part of package deal with a winger for that elusive centre or centre prospect.
